Sophia

My parents' mansion was impeccable, with every detail carefully planned for the gathering of the alphas and their wives. Initially, no women were supposed to be present, as the men wanted to protect us, but as their wives, we deserved to know what was happening. We understood that the missions were dangerous and that they didn’t want us there, but at the very least, they had to give us information about the case.

The warm light from the golden lamps illuminated the grand dining room, where a long table was set with elegant plates and black glasses. Mom and Dad had taken care of organizing the meeting. They were part of the pack but had retired. However, they also wanted to be present. They looked alert because of everything that had been happening lately.

The atmosphere was tense as if everyone in the room was holding their breath, waiting for something to explode at any moment.

Bright was sitting next to me, his hand resting on my thigh like a silent warning. I wanted to push

    SophiaThe sun barely filtered its light through the curtains when I decided to stay home. I had woken up feeling dizzy, with a strange tightness in my chest and a sense of imbalance I hadn’t been able to shake off since I opened my eyes. Bright had insisted I rest, and I reluctantly agreed. Even though I hated showing vulnerability, I knew pushing myself wouldn’t help.The house was quiet, though not completely silent. I knew there were werewolves from Dante’s pack guarding the place, following orders to protect me after what had happened. That intense protection made me feel strange. Not because I didn’t need it, but because I knew Bright wasn’t happy that they were the ones in charge. And I wasn’t sure if I should be either.I was sitting on the living room couch, a blanket over my legs and a half-finished cup of tea in my hands, when I heard a soft knock on the door. I frowned, thinking it might be one of the guards. But when I opened it, my heart skipped a beat.It was Dante.“Hi

    BrightI didn’t like being here.They could smile, greet me enthusiastically, pat me on the back like they’d known me all my life, but something didn’t fit.Or maybe I was the one who didn’t fit.No matter how hard I tried to look relaxed, my body was tense, like I might have to go into defense mode at any second. It wasn’t really about them, at least not directly. It was the feeling of being surrounded by strangers, by a system that didn’t belong to me.This wasn’t my pack.Not really, even if it was officially now.The welcome had been loud, full of excitement. Voices, laughter, werewolves slapping each other on the back, joking around, forming an invisible web of bonds I wasn’t part of yet.They greeted me warmly, asked about my story, wanted to include me… but none of that could silence the emptiness in my chest.I missed my pack.I missed the forest where I grew up, the house that no longer existed, and the familiar faces. I even missed the arguments with Thomas, because they wer

    Sophia Another day. The day of Sabrina's funeral. But Bright hadn’t wanted to talk about it.The sun had only just started to peek through the windows when we woke up. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. It wasn’t a formal event, but I couldn’t help wanting to look good.Today was Dante’s official welcome into the pack, and he would be introducing us to everyone. It was strange to think about. Just a few days ago, Bright and I were still full of doubts, caught in a web of fears, threats, and rushed decisions. And now… we were part of something new. A new pack. A new life.Bright was in the other room, finishing getting dressed. His furrowed brow betrayed his tension. Even though he was the one who called Dante, the one who made the final decision, he didn’t like being here. He was doing it for me. For the baby. To protect us."Are you ready?" he asked, appearing in the doorway. His voice sounded a little dry, but his eyes softened when they met mine.I nodded with a faint

    Bright The clock on my nightstand read 6:29 a.m., and I knew I wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep. My head was spinning with thoughts. My heart was heavy with anguish and sorrow. Pain. Sabrina... So many memories. So many things are lost in such a short time. I was going to lose my mind.After last night... I couldn’t just do nothing. I didn’t like it, but I knew I had to do it. I took Sophia’s phone while she was still asleep beside me. Her breathing was soft, her face peaceful, as if what had happened last night didn’t weigh on her like it did on me. But I couldn’t sleep. Not after what I had read.That note was still burned into my mind like fire on skin:“I know you’re alone now, and you will die soon, Bright. Your time will come sooner than you think.”My hands were still trembling. That threat wasn’t just a warning. It was a message. A promise. And I wasn’t about to take the risk of it becoming real.I dialed Dante’s number, the one I had saved without telling Sophia. He ans

    BrightThe violent crash of shattering glass ripped us out of sleep like a nightmare turned real. My eyes snapped open, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. Sophia, lying beside me, shot up too, her face pale and her eyes wide with panic."Did you hear that?" she whispered, her voice trembling.I nodded, my jaw clenched tight. A second noise followed —louder this time— something metallic crashing to the floor downstairs.I jumped out of bed, adrenaline flooding my system, but Sophia grabbed my arm before I could take another step."Don’t go down there, Bright. We don’t know who it is. It could be dangerous!""Stay here," I said firmly, already scanning the room for anything I could use as a weapon."No," she insisted, her grip tightening. "What if something happens to you? What if… if it’s someone like the ones who killed Sabrina?"Her voice cracked, and tears welled up in her eyes.My chest ached, but I couldn’t stay still, not when there was a possible threat in our home. Not while
